DWTS Jennas Reaction To Being In SameSex Partnership With JoJo

Jenna Johnson considers Dancing With The Stars producers asking her to be half of JoJo Siwa’s historic first same-sex partnership as “an honor.” Shortly after coming out as part of the LGBTQ+ community on social media earlier this year, JoJo was given an opportunity to make franchise history as the first contestant in 30 seasons to have a same-sex partner. It all began when producers emailed the Nickelodeon star asking which gender partner she preferred. Once JoJo realized she could bend the rules and show her young fans that they can live their full truth despite societal norms, she immediately asked for a female pro. As the anticipation for her debut on the show grew, JoJo told her fans she hoped that she could be paired with Jenna, Britt Stewart or Lindsay Arnold.

JoJo was very vocal about her nerves facing judges Derek Hough, Bruno Tonioli, Carrie Ann Inaba and Len Goodman due to her fear that they would give her a more harsh critique due to her background in dance. JoJo admitted that while she found fame in dance and she performs for a living, the techniques she uses are vastly different from ballroom in which she’s competing. That said, it appears neither JoJo or Jenna needs a male lead as all of their hard work earned them the top spot of the judges leader board.

In a conversation with multiple reporters right after production wrapped on Dancing With The Stars’ premiere night, Jenna told Screen Rant she’s absolutely “honored” to take on this historic role alongside her partner. “Honestly it’s such an honor. When they first told me that I may possibly dance with a female, I immediately said yes, and this is before I knew who it was,” Jenna said. “I said yes, and then I started to get very nervous and was like, ‘What am I about to do if I do this?’ And the second I met JoJo, all of those doubts and nerves went away.” Jenna continued to explain that their partnership has felt “natural, incredible and normal” since the beginning. “I’m like, ‘Do I even need to dance with a guy ever again?’ It’s just been incredible and I’m so honored that they thought of me to have this moment with JoJo.” As for the Nickelodeon star, she feels as though she manifested partnering with “the number one” pro on the show. “I literally know how lucky I am to have her as a partner.” JoJo was especially excited to start wearing “twin costumes” with Jenna for the show’s routines. The 18-year-old star even mentioned that though the costume department added a lot of rhinestones onto their premiere looks, Jenna caught her sitting in the corner adding more rhinestones to her top moments before they were live on air.

JoJo is also taking her time on Dancing With The Stars very seriously, as she doesn’t want her stint to just be a fun experience, but rather an opportunity to learn new moves that can later be incorporated into her show. “You better bet there will be a ballroom section [in my upcoming concerts],” JoJo said as she listed several of her hit tracks that she could easily two-step to. Though her top score is impressive, there is no elimination this week so fans will have to see if JoJo can continue impressing judges and viewers alike next week.

Beyond JoJo and Jenna’s chemistry on the dance floor, all of the reporters could tell the duo have already created a strong friendship that truly resembles a sisterhood. While JoJo is just excited to be in this experience, her young fans are still blowing up social media thanking the young star for allowing them to feel seen on the dancing competition. All in all, with JoJo’s impressive start and loyal fanbase, this star seems like the one to beat on this season of Dancing With The Stars.
